i clicked onto the paisley underground wikipedia page genuinely believing it would be about a hardcore dance scene based in the scottish town that everyone loves to hate..

don’t release your album in the first 6-7 months of the year.

we beat hibs on wednesday, we open up a 7 point gap over them in 11th, which would really give us some security and allow us to concentrate on catching the pack above us.
we lose to hibs on wednesday, the gap is back to 1 point, and we’re right back in the relegation quagmire.
but if watching football has taught me anything, it’s that this sort of thing in december means jackshite.
best of both bread.
eating some best of both bread. what i like about white bread is that it’s dirty and disgusting, and what i like about brown bread is that it is healthy and delicious. i’m still trying to work out how the best of both can even be achieved.
on criticising scottish referees.
craig thomson is going to the euros. no scottish footballer is. go figure.

frank lampard picks his fantasy chelsea... →
frank praises all his team mates with things like “influential” and “inspiration”, fails to mention the oh-so-crucial element of five-a-side footballers: being a good laugh.
but then he is a boring tory isn’t he. with a small head. whatever frank. yawn.
the referee's a wanker.
i don’t like managers criticising referees all the time. i don’t agree when they argue that there shouldn’t be things like goalline technology and video refs brought into live football to reduce their mistakes: it’s a game of human error, something that footballers are as equally culpable of as the referees and their assistants. and i don’t like going onto the bbc...

– from today’s “the fiver” email (courtesy of the guardian sport website). it’s perfectly acceptable to side with one of the big two in spain, but everyone is terrified of courting bias in the old firm derby..

Or, Two Obsessive Albums of the Year
Tyler, the Creator - Goblin
I think Aidan Moffat said it best on Twitter when he said of this record, “wow, offensive AND boring”. This record is very offensive. It’s also a bit boring. There are swathes that I listen to again and again and can barely recall any of. Sometimes the instances of Tyler’s railing against everything ever...

Or, My Five Favourite Songs of the Year.
Sometimes songs are good. Sometimes they are so good, it doesn’t matter what the releases they are on are like.
Hudson Mohawke - Thunder Bay
It’s incredibly difficult to explain why that sharp swing in the bassline (is it even a bassline?) is so simple but so devastatingly effective. Or why, when the note finally changes around the 2.45...

Or, My Five Favourite Albums of the Year.
The Opening Gambit: Normally, I’d have about ten favourite albums of the year. But I’m afraid I’ve simply not been convinced enough by what I’ve heard this year. More of that later. The usual rules apply here: I’ll discover my favourite album from the year 2011 some time around March 2012, but really, what’s the use in...
